President Muhammadu Buhari has described Boko Haram insurgents in the north-east as “mere scavengers desperate for food”.

Speaking at a virtual meeting in the presidential villa on Tuesday, Buhari said the service chiefs had done their best but they need to develop in of intelligence gathering.

The meeting was attended by the Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo, heads of defence, security, intelligence agencies, and of the security committee of the Nigerian Governors’ Forum (NGF).

Gabriel Olonisakin, chief of defence staff; Tukur Buratai, chief of army staff; Sadique Abubakar, chief of air staff, and Ibok-Ete Ekwe Ibas, chief of naval staff, were in attendance.

The president expressed concern over insurgents’ access to small weapons despite border closure.

“These terrorists are in the localities. How is it that they are not short of small arms? We have said enough on the need for them to rejig their operations,” Garba Shehu, presidential spokesman, quoted him to have said.

“I am glad that there is better synergy and cooperation which are very important. I have directed the Service Chiefs to meet among themselves in-between the National Security Council meetings.

“The services have resources; yes, they need more, and mobility, and are doing their best, but there is a need for better gathering and interpretation of intelligence. Our intelligence-gathering must be improved.”

Discarding the assumption that insurgents in the north-east possess better weapons than the military, the president reportedly said what is left of them are: “mere scavengers desperate for food, raiding shops and markets, and killing innocent persons in the process.”

Buhari informed the governors of the imminent shipment of military weapons and aircraft from Jordan, China and the United States, but added that patience is required because the new weapons and aircraft must be manned by trained fighters and pilots.

He also expressed satisfaction with the level of naval activity in the Gulf of Guinea, using newly-acquired equipment, but demanded that hard-to-reach areas of Lake Chad where Boko Haram terrorists have found new havens, as well as the forests now inhabited by bandits, must be accessed and rid of nefarious elements.

“The Chief of Defence Staff has spoken about their study of the forests and their potential danger to security. We must make sure we follow the bandits and terrorists, but there must not be deforestation in view of the climate situation,” he said.

Among other reactions, the governors urged Buhari to consider a “bail out” for security of the states in view of expended funds in of the military and police efforts in combating insecurity.

what is Buhari, is it another word for doppelganger figurehead inconsequential moronic vegetative senile ?

Does this guy drink?

"BH are scavengers"? Same murderous killers that have caused pain,tears, anguish and carnage especially in the NE? Buhari that said Bandits are killing Kastina people because of the jungle justice being meted to them by their victims?

As if bandits/terrorists are supposed to operate in operate in the first place.Anyway, the government have already been granting them amnesty and foreign education.This man is really the worst president this nation has ever had.

Same complaints our troops/commanders(Maj.Gen. Adeniyi), governors having been making about the calibre of weapons Nigeria is using to confront his terrorists kinsmen? This president is out of tune with reality.

Stupid presidiot

Mr President, with all due respect, let's call a spade a spade.

The country has been infiltrated by deadly islamic terrorist groups from outside pushing their jihadist agenda and our security agencies have been compromised owning largely to religious sentiments and affiliation. These ones are not looking for food cos they are not hungry.

Simply put..we are in deep shit.

Racoon can volunteer to feed them, since he always pained about their welfare.

PMB insha'Allah you will lead us to finishing these desperado terrorists and their ers, who remain warriors of PDP and BISG (Bokoharam Iswap Group) only route to power.

Scavengers with kalasnikov and gun trucks.....Ok oo

Uncle hate Muslims, but will shed crocodile tears just to push his politics, same way the only Muslim he loves and votes for is Atiku, a renowned thief.

They attacked a governor's convoy last week, they still have camps in Borno.

If they are mere scavengers then why can't displaced persons go back to their villages?

Wasn't it earlier this year that a Nigerian Army general was pleading for weapons and , didn't LC Matins say the same thing about soldiers begging for weapons and being jailed for that?

I swear Buhari is one of the most incompetent generals I've ever seen.

You gave been feeding them with dollars na.

How much is rifle and how much is food? This man is gradually making a case for his people and I can sense amnesty on the way. Did they ever cry of hunger? War is more expensive than normal life but they are warring.

Thanks for proving my point - you hate Muslims but love for Atiku, BH, ISWAP who may aid your political interests. It clearly shows the sort of human being you are though pretentiously crying on the situation Muslims in Katsina et Al face.

The hide and seek rubber faced idiot has spoken

And some people are still wandering why the Fulani terrorist regime is releasing boko haram terrorist murderers (responsible for death of thousands of lives) as repentant terrorist and mere hungry scavengers looking for food, while those who criticize Islam are arrested and sentenced to death. The earlier Nigerians realize that buhari's APC regime is a terrorist fulani regime, the better.


DISINTEGRATION OF NIGERIA WILL SAVE LIVES! IT.

Buhari I don't blame you, i blame the id1ots that voted for you. According to the rest of the world and those in nigeria that have lost their lives and properties and homes, boko haram is the 3rd terrorist organization in the world. But buhari says they are mere scavenger. Ok o

- Children are rendered parentless...
- Families are rendered homeless..
- Properties and lives are destroyed..
- Futures are destroyed..
- Soldiers are killed in coldblood..
- Funding meant to alleviate poverty are used for weapons..

Yet a President says they are only scavengers looking for what to eat...

Give them food na. Which kind wahala be this?

Bubu is making case for his islamic foot soldiers

Yet the war remains unfinished

This bubu is a dullard
#GodSaveNigeria

All of the above
